Charities cannot pick up the tab for all the failings of states and private companies... I know Libertarians like to think this but it doesnt happen
What country follows the Libertarian m.o.? Give me one example where this works. Somalia?

Obviously a PURE libertarian system will never happen. We are far to large a nation to strip it back, but its that "general direction" that I (again, just my opinion) would like to see things go. Id just be happy with seeing us act like adults. Maybe not spend more than we have? LOL.
And if you think the banking system is "unregulated" you're kidding yourself. And the truth is....you can add to the tens of thousands of pages of regulations that exist and people will usually find a way to avoid / circumvent / eliminate / backdoor them.
Do you feel that strong regulations have been put in place since 2008 that keep institutions from engaging in the type of risky behavior that they were beforehand? (serious question)
I have my opinion, but I enjoy debate and listening to other as well. Ive changed more than a few opinions because of a good debate
